CHAPTER 33: CHAPTER 33: AWARDED 3RD CLASS MERIT (PLEASE BOOKMARK AND VOTE FOR MONTHLY TICKETS)

"Fusion"

With several experiences of fusion already under his belt, Luo Fei no longer worried about any issues arising and proceeded with the fusion immediately.

A few seconds later, the fusion ended.

Luo Fei wanted to verify immediately if his reaction speed had increased, but how should he verify it?

After thinking for a while, Luo Fei took out his phone, opened a video, played it at triple speed and then at double speed, testing repeatedly for a few minutes.

Finally, Luo Fei concluded that his reaction speed had indeed improved significantly. Previously, when Luo Fei watched videos at triple speed along with the barrage, he could barely keep up, but now watching videos at triple speed felt no different from watching normal videos, with his neural reactions keeping up perfectly.

Just then, Zhou Weimin walked in.

At first glance, he looked toward Luo Fei, approaching with a kindly smile on his face.

"Zhou Suo." Luo Fei stood up to greet Zhou Weimin as he approached.

"Sit, sit, sit." Zhou Weimin hurriedly pressed Luo Fei’s shoulder to make him stay seated, then warmly asked, "You must have been exhausted yesterday. Take a good rest this morning. Don’t worry about anything else."

"Hmm." Luo Fei nodded in agreement, indeed feeling a bit sleepy.

After making sure Luo Fei was well-rested, Zhou Weimin then left the office.

Zhou Weimin’s actions surprised everyone else in the office. What’s the deal with Zhou Suo specifically coming over to tell Luo Fei to rest?

"Luo Fei, what did you do yesterday? What’s the boss’s deal? I feel like there’s something secret going on!" Wu Wei leaned both hands on Luo Fei’s desk, looking puzzled.

"Luo Fei, did you do something again yesterday? Confess." Jiang Xiaoxiao asked inquisitively.

"It’s a secret, I can’t tell you. If you want to know, ask the boss. I’m going to sleep." Luo Fei said, then immediately lay down on his desk to sleep. He really didn’t want to talk about yesterday’s events; after all, Wu Yu was nominally his big cousin, and speaking of it was not a pleasant affair.

Seeing Luo Fei really sleeping on the desk, Jiang Xiaoxiao and Wu Wei were exasperated yet helpless.

As for Zhao Le, he pretended to be engrossed in his book.

When Luo Fei woke up, it was already ten o’clock.

Luo Fei freshened up in the restroom, and as he walked out, he ran into Zhou Weimin, who was also just heading to the restroom. Zhou Weimin told Luo Fei that in the Tang Youquan case, the suspects, including Ma Hu, Zhou Xiaotiao, and Huang Bin, were all apprehended, with none escaping.

Luo Fei didn’t find this surprising; Wu Xiaoyu and his group were just small-time thugs on the street with no anti-detection awareness or abilities. With their capabilities, it was likely they couldn’t escape even if they tried.

With the conclusion of the Tang Youquan case, for a whole month afterward, the police station received no homicide alerts.

Luo Fei’s life as a police officer seemed to have returned to normal: working, studying, occasionally handling trivial matters, then finishing work, continuing to study at night, and waking up to work again.

In the span of a month, his system’s Gold Coins increased from 0 to 500, with 300 of them earned from dealing with a brawl incident.

At the brawl between No.1 High School and Songxin Town Middle School, Luo Fei and two auxiliary officers on duty coincidentally discovered the incident and immediately intervened.

In this brawl incident, the surge in strength from Luo Fei’s fusion with Gorilla Strength Gene played a crucial role. As both groups of students began to fight, Luo Fei rushed in, grabbing two ringleaders by the hands, instantly intimidating everyone present.

Luo Fei then gave all the students there a lecture on legal knowledge, finally suppressing these hot-blooded teenagers without further commotion. For this, Luo Fei received a reward of 300 Gold Coins from the system.

The remaining 200 Gold Coins were accumulated by Luo Fei while handling various issues, one coin at a time: for example, resolving neighbor disputes earned a 10 Gold Coin reward, and finding a missing dog for an elderly man earned him a 20 Gold Coin reward.

During this period, Luo Fei received another paycheck, amounting to 5,532 yuan. When signing the salary slip, he found that 2,000 yuan required Zhou Weimin’s separate signature. Zhou Weimin said this was his bonus, making Luo Fei’s salary without the bonus only 3,532 yuan, which was a sad story for him.

As soon as the salary was credited, without spending an hour in his bank account, Luo Fei transferred the money to his uncle and second aunt.

As so many days had passed since Wu Yu’s incident, his uncle and aunt had somewhat recovered from it, especially since he was still alive.

Wu Yu and Ma Hu’s group had already been handed over to the prosecutor’s office, but the final verdict was yet to be announced.

As for Gu Youguo, Luo Fei learned from Zhang Haiyang that Gu Youguo had been sentenced to life imprisonment, and Luo Fei wasn’t too surprised by this outcome.

Upon arriving at the office in the morning, Luo Fei routinely boiled water and then read a book.

He expected it to be another ordinary day, but unexpectedly, at 8:30, Zhou Weimin walked into the office, saying that the detective team was holding a commendation ceremony, and the Songxin Town police station needed to participate.

By 9:30, everyone from the Songxin Town police station, except the officers on duty, arrived at the crime investigation department’s commendation ceremony room.

Today’s commendation ceremony was noticeably smaller in scale than the last one. Luo Fei observed that apart from the crime investigation department, only the Songxin Town police station was present, with no other attendees.

Judging by the situation, Luo Fei guessed that the commendation ceremony was most likely for the previous murder cases since the Songxin Town police station also played a role in the Su Xiao suicide case and the Tang Youquan murder case.

At the forefront of the commendation ceremony sat Wucheng, the Chief of Ningjiang County Public Security Bureau, with assistant Zhu Rong, whom Luo Fei didn’t recognize, on one side and Deputy Chief Jiang Chuang on the other. Further along sat Detective Team Leader Zhao Donglai and Zhou Weimin.

The ceremony officially began with Wucheng, the Chief of the Public Security Bureau, giving the opening speech, praising the crime investigation team for their outstanding performance in recent investigations, particularly in quickly resolving the Su Xiao suicide and the Tang Youquan murder cases, demonstrating impressive execution ability.

He also commended the Songxin Town police station, acknowledging their significant assistance in solving the two cases.

After Wucheng finished speaking, the commendation segment followed.

The first to be commended was Zhao Donglai, the Detective Team Leader and the person in charge of both cases. During the investigations, he managed the overall situation, leading by example, diligently contributing significantly to solving the cases, earning him a third-class merit award.

After Zhao Donglai received his third-class merit certificate and medal, Wucheng continued to read, "In recognition of Officer Luo Fei from the Songxin Town police station, for outstanding performance and exceptional achievements in the 7.18 and 8.12 cases, he is awarded a third-class merit award."
